A 49-year-old transformer, a city fighting for access to the power it buys, and no quick fix
Maritime Electric still hasn’t put forward an estimate for how long it will take to repair a transformer approaching its 50th birthday. With that piece of equipment out of commission, the City of Summerside is still facing the prospect of rolling blackouts. Submissions from the utility to P.E.I.'s regulator suggest a fix could take up to a year, while replacing it could take twice as long. CBC's Kerry Campbell reports.
